Mackinaw Biting Around The Lake

by DOUG BUSEY

Best areas to fish for mackinaw trout is off the Cal/Neva point or around Carnelian Bay. The drop offs in the area are dramatic and can change from 100 to 600 feet quickly. The shelf out from Tahoe City is also productive. On the south end, many anglers are successful toplinning with #9 to a #11 Rapala from the Cave Rock area to Logan Shoals.

Water Clarity Is DIfferent Around The Lake

by MIKE NIELSEN

Smaller grade of fish overall but still fun. Water clarity is very different in certain areas. Some places very murky already with some runoff while other areas it’s as clear as I can ever recall. I was showing the group bottom with naked eye at 60 ft with ease. The video looks like 5 ft in about 20 plus!
